Nice r68 letter scrolling. I only wish you film the r40S slant rollsign scrolling because i adore that the most and it almost never happened. I also wish the r40S trains were still around at this time.
Well it’s because of the CBTC that the MTA is installing on the lines. CBTC only works with the New Technology Trains (such as the R142/A, R160, R179, and R188) that’s why you wouldn’t see any of the SMEE type subway cars on a line that has CBTC installed like the (7) line or the Queens blvd line. (The SMEE type cars are the R46, R62/A, and R68/A)
Were the R68 trains ever tested on the E line when they first arrived? I only remember seeing one on the F line, but after that, strictly B and D line only on the 6th Ave line.

Cool r68 rollsign scrolling train video. I do have one question though. Why isn't there ever an r68 E and F train?
